Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - Caveat venditor

The market forces have changed from a seller market i.e., the earlier approach of caveat emptor which means Let the buyer beware, to a consumer market i.e., caveat venditor which implies Let the seller beware. A consumer is said to be a KING in the free market economy. Hence, consumer protection has significance for both consumers and business alike.
